Aug 5 (Reuters) – A logistics hub of top Russian online retailer Wildberries caught fire ​after a Ukrainian drone ‌attack that injured one person, Tula regional governor Dmitry Milyayev said on Telegram on Wednesday.

Wildberries, which ‌has ​seen over a ⁠dozen of its ⁠facilities damaged in drone attacks recently, confirmed the strike in a separate Telegram post ​and said it had evacuated people from the ⁠facility while redirecting ⁠delivery flows.

Milyayev said two ​industrial facilities in the city ​of Novomoskovsk and in the ‌Uzlovaya area, as well as two apartment buildings in another part of the Tula ⁠region, were also damaged.

Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv from ⁠the ‌air early on Wednesday, ⁠killing one person, injuring ​24 ‌and severely damaging buildings ​in ⁠several districts of the city of 3 million people.
